ACU Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth Studentships 2024

    Deadline: July 31, 2024

    Applications are open for the ACU Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth Studentships 2024. The Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth PhD Studentships provide support for research projects on Commonwealth-related themes. The studentships are funded by The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs and the journal’s publisher, Routledge, in association with the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU).

    Proposed research must meet at least one of the following:

    • Relate to the Commonwealth as a whole or to any Commonwealth-wide institution or organisation.
    • Have a Commonwealth comparative aspect.
    • Be of relevance to more than one Commonwealth country.

    Successful applicants will be required to submit an article of between 4,000 and 6,000 words based on their research, for consideration for publication in The Round Table journal. They will also be required to make a podcast on their research, for publication on the journal’s website.

    Benefits

    Two studentships are available each with a maximum value of GBP 5,500:

    • One for PhD students registered at UK universities.
    • One for PhD students registered at ACU member universities in Commonwealth countries other than the UK.

    Eligibility

    • Applications are welcomed from a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
    • Preference may be given to disciplines usually covered by The Round Table journal, including (but not exclusively) politics, international relations, economics, international history, geography, law, development studies, and area studies.
    • It is not expected that the applicant’s PhD/DPhil research already has a Commonwealth focus. Applications are particularly welcomed where the award will enable the applicant to add a Commonwealth dimension to the work.
